New Orleans Terrorist Identified as ISIS

The FBI might be reporting that the mass murder in New Orleans in the early morning of New Year’s Day wasn’t a terrorist attack, but it clearly was. The terrorist, identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, had an ISIS flag according to New Orleans Police. He wore full military gear, including body armor.

It is also being reported that there were operational explosive devices in the truck used in the attack.

According to Fox News:

At least 10 people are dead and dozens injured after a driver plowed a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans on Wednesday.

The driver, a male, reportedly jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire on police after hitting the crowd. The brief shootout ended with the suspect dead at the scene, authorities confirmed. Police say 35 people have been transported to five hospitals across the city after suffering injuries from the attack.
